Verified Stay

Nicole took excellent care of our much loved senior dog, giving her all the medicines and reassurance she needed, and all this over a holiday as well. She even sent me a couple of photos while we were away, which were very much appreciated. Happily, her schedule and doors match up and we will be using her services again. Thanks so much, Nicole!

Nicole was great! Buddy liked her a lot, and she took great care of our plants during a heat wave, and the house was very clean upon our return. We highly recommend Nicole to other pet owners!

Temporary doggie BFF for hire!

I used to help take care of the family yorkie when I was in high school and since then I have dog sat sporadically through college (whilst I was not allowed to have my own pupper, unfortunately).

I used to help take care of the family yorkie when I was in high school and since then I have dog sat sporadically through college (whilst I was not allowed to have my own pupper, unfortunately). I have helped care for a friend's miniature Italian Greyhound (Zero) while she was away for several weeks and have experience sitting for a Jack Russell terrier (Bigsby) while a coworker was on vacation.Most recently in the last months I helped walk & play with a wonderful little greyhound/chihuahua mix (Gadget) for a week and sat for an sweet, elderly black lab (Riley) for a couple weeks.

I have experience with dogs that have aggression towards other dogs while walking, separation anxiety, hip problems, and those who are 'home protectors'. The way I see it, all dogs are characters waiting to be understood and loved.

If you need someone to drop by, check up, feed and walk I can do that. If you need an overnight or long term sitter that works too. I have a day job but I can always schedule my time to make sure a fuzzy buddy isn't lonely! :)

What Nicole would like to know about your dog

I would like to know if you pet has any injuries that inhibit play or walking, any behavioral tendencies (such as separation anxiety, dog/stranger aggression, resource guarding, etc), energy levels (Ex: Greyhounds need much more exercise and walking), necessary medications or medical history you think might be important. I don't discriminate jobs based on these criteria but prefer to be aware and prepared. All breeds welcome!

When Nicole watches your pet

Depending on your dogs needs we can go for long walks or the dog park. I own a Jeep so I have room for a drive to adventure if needed. If your pupper is higher up in years and can't go too far then a trot around the block or the yard will work too. It's all about your concerns and your fur-baby's needs.
